Q => The ages of Amit and sumo are in the ratio 2:3 after 15 yrs the ratio will be 3:4 find present age.
S → The ratio of ages of Amit and Sumo is 2:3.
Let us consider their ages as 2x and 3x.
So, According To Question →
(2x+15)/(3x+15) = 3/4
or, 4(2x+15) = 3(3x+15)
or, 8x + 60 = 9x + 45
or, 60-45 = 9x-8x
or, 15 = x
or, x = 15
So, age of Amit is 2x = 2×15 = 30 years
Age of Sumo is 3x = 3 × 15 = 45 years
